[Xen-users] P2V question

[Donny Brooks <dbrooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking at virtualizing a few CentOS 5.4 and Fedora 11 servers (all 
64-bit) here at work onto a brand new shiny Xen 3.4.2 CentOS 5.4 machine. To 
move the physical machine to a virtual machine should it be as easy as
1. Setup the LVM LV to house the disk on the xen server
2. Boot the physical machine from a live/rescue cd and use dd to copy the disk 
over to the LV on the xen machine.
3. Mount the LV and change the grub.conf, fstab, and update the kernel to one 
that will do paravirt
4. Setup the guest.xml file and boot

This will be the first time I have attempted this kind of migration, but it 
seems pretty straightforward. I would appreciate any and all pointers on this 
subject. Thanks in advance!
